The "include" files had type "book" for some raeason. I don't think this is meaningful. Let's just use the same everywhere. $ perl -i -0pe 's^..DOCTYPE (book|refentry) PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.[25]//EN"\s+"http^<!DOCTYPE refentry PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.5//EN"\n "http^gms' man/*.xml

|
|
<para>The hardware database is a key-value store for associating modalias-like keys to
|
|
udev-property-like values. It is used primarily by udev to add the relevant properties
|
|
to matching devices, but it can also be queried directly.</para>

<refsect1><title>Hardware Database Files</title>
|
|
<para>The hwdb files are read from the files located in the
|
|
system hwdb directory <filename>/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.d</filename> and
|
|
the local administration directory <filename>/etc/udev/hwdb.d</filename>.
|
|
All hwdb files are collectively sorted and processed in lexical order,
|
|
regardless of the directories in which they live. However, files with
|
|
identical filenames replace each other. Files in <filename>/etc</filename>
|
|
have the highest priority and take precedence over files with the same
|
|
name in <filename>/usr/lib</filename>. This can be used to override a
|
|
system-supplied hwdb file with a local file if needed;
|
|
a symlink in <filename>/etc</filename> with the same name as a hwdb file in
|
|
<filename>/usr/lib</filename>, pointing to <filename>/dev/null</filename>,
|
|
disables that hwdb file entirely. hwdb files must have the extension
|
|
<filename>.hwdb</filename>; other extensions are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Each hwdb file contains data records consisting of matches and associated
|
|
key-value pairs. Every record in the hwdb starts with one or more match strings,
|
|
specifying a shell glob to compare the lookup string against. Multiple match lines
|
|
are specified in consecutive lines. Every match line is compared individually, and
|
|
they are combined by OR. Every match line must start at the first character of the
|
|
line.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The match lines are followed by one or more key-value pair lines, which are
|
|
recognized by a leading space character. The key name and value are separated by
|
|
<literal>=</literal>. An empty line signifies the end of a record. Lines beginning
|
|
with <literal>#</literal> are ignored.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In case multiple records match a given lookup string, the key-value pairs
|
|
from all records are combined. If a key is specified multiple times, the value
|
|
from the record with the highest priority is used (each key can have only a single
|
|
value). The priority is higher when the record is in a file that sorts later
|
|
lexicographically, and in case of records in the same file, later records have
|
|
higher priority.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The content of all hwdb files is read by
|
|
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-hwdb</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
|
|
and compiled to a binary database located at <filename>/etc/udev/hwdb.bin</filename>,
|
|
or alternatively <filename>/usr/lib/udev/hwdb.bin</filename> if you want ship the
|
|
compiled database in an immutable image. During runtime, only the binary database
|
|
is used.</para>
